Which game do you think had the best graphics of all Amiga games? Out of the OCS/ECS/AGA games (not RTG).
I think Superfrog has pretty good graphics, especially considering its OCS/ECS :)
-
I would vote for Leander though Chaos Engine made a good job for the littel colors it used. Xenon 2 ist top notch too.
-
here (http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=8901) you can find a thread dealing 'bout this :-)
I bet Elfmania comes out as best (it beats superfrog hands down, also considering this game is ocs)
-
I've heard that some adventure game (Universe, IIRC) had 256 colors on ECS Amigas!! :-o I know that it sounds impossible, but Universe does have very nice graphics.
Anyway, its gotta be adventure type of game, because they rely so much on graphics.
-
Top of my pile has to be:
- SlamTilt. The tables were very detailed (eg. Lights lighting their surroundings, balls has a reflection like effect). The score table had smooth & detailed animtions.
- SWIV had an amazing amount of variety considering it was on one disk & was from the A500 days
- Banshee, although not quite up to SWIVs standard, was pretty sweet looking.
- All of the Dragons Lair series. Graphically they were so far ahead of their time.
- The Settlers. So intricate yet so clean & simple. I uesd to love watching a single bloke leave the castle, go to his hutch, come out with an axe, walk to a tree, chop it down, carry the log back, have someone else take it to a saw mill, watch the mill make planks out of it, watch another little one carry the planks to a building site then watch another little fella use the wood to build the scafolding of a new building. Aaahhhhh....
- Supercars 2. Lots of tiny bits of details & "Half Bright" shadows (DPaint terminology). I wished that moe games used that because it looked good.
FuZion.

Maybe it had HAM conversions of originally 256 colour images. Or perhaps it used a palette modifying copperlist.
-
AFAIK, Universe didn't use HAM. I didn't think it looked so great tho, there were games with less colors that looked much better.
Some other board.... (http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=5973)

Lionheart from Thalion! Shame that this was their last game :-\
-
Shadow of The Best
-
Mine is still Agony from the last time this came up :-D
-
all games already mentioned in the previous thread 'bout this.
And yes, Lionheart has phenomenal gfx on the Miggy, I got it running on my A500, as well as Elfmania, but I think I have to say Elfmania has the best gfx, it can compete with NeoGeo gfx :-)
-
Pinball Illusions was the first AGA title to blow my socks off. Excellent design, clever masking tricks, and one of the few [good] pinball games to use real blitter objects instead of bitplane shifting. People don't give this game the credit it deserves because there's not much moving. :-)
For OCS, I was fond of Battle Squadron, Project X, and Sword of Sodan (although the animation was crap and the blood spatters were truly laughable).

Smooth, but not very creative.

Shadow of the Beast boasted 128 colors on the box. We all know that's the good ol' copper at work, though.

Nicely detailed, but bad use of color. Level 1 was basicly brown and green. Ugh. Also, too dithered. The loading screens are phenominal, though.
-
Didn't Alien Breed 3D AGA use 4096 colours at the same time (using a Copper trick). It was blocky but was pretty fast. I think it mentions the details on the box. Beast is the best looking Classic Amiga game, especially if you play on monitor or scart TV.

-EDIT-
Banshee was another really nice looking game :-)
